Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: 14490. Women Helpline 14490 is a 24×7 toll-free support service launched by the National Commission for Women (NCW) for women in distress. NCW is India's apex statutory body mandated to protect and promote the rights and interests of women. The helpline provides digital complaint registration, psychological counselling, grievance redressal, referral support, and information on government welfare schemes. The service is linked with NCW's existing helpline 7827170170 to provide a simplified and accessible reporting mechanism. Women and girls aged 18 years and above can register complaints related to domestic violence, harassment, workplace exploitation, dowry, and other gender-based offences. Eligible complaints are assigned a unique case number, while cases outside NCW's jurisdiction are closed with appropriate guidance. For serious cases, NCW may coordinate with police authorities, facilitate counselling or mediation, and constitute an Inquiry Committee where required. Complaint trend analysis by NCW supports policy reforms, institutional improvements, and measures to strengthen women's safety mechanisms.
